Chicken Shop Date is coming to an end.
The viral YouTube series created and hosted by Amelia Dimoldenberg will have one more season before wrapping up, the creator and Mash 101 alumni announced on Thursday.
Dimoldenberg took to Instagram to share the news in a statement, saying she feels it’s “now time to move on from this adventure and onto a new one.”

Here’s her statement, in full:
“When I was 17 I had a fantastic idea that I might meet the love of my life on a date in a chicken shop.
I’ve spent my entire twenties sitting across from the most incredible people, people I’d always dreamt of meeting. All of them charmed me (some more than others) and I definitely charmed them.
To me the show is my very own romcom and I have loved creating so many stories for you to watch. I am so grateful to everyone who has followed me on this journey and found some joy in these episodes.
I never thought I’d stop Chicken Shop Date, I thought maybe it would be a part of me forever, and in some way it always will, but I feel like it’s now time to move on from this adventure and onto a new one.
But before I say goodbye forever, I want to celebrate everything Chicken Shop Date has been for me with a few final dates…coming very soon.
Love Amelia x”
Originally starting as a column, Chicken Shop Date launched in its current YouTube form back in 2014. It’s since become an online staple up there with the likes of Hot Ones, with new episodes typically getting millions of views.
It will be missed by many — but it sounds like Dimoldenberg, who last year launched an F1-themed web series, has other things up her sleeve. Earlier this year it was announced that Dimoldenberg would star in and produce a romantic comedy about a journalist who interviews celebrities for Amazon MGM Studios’ Orion Pictures.
